[Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki 1.3.0beta6 installation

[Len Yabloko]

Hello Wikings, 

I am very impressed with this project. So I am trying to participate. I have downloaded everything and attempted to install it locally.
This is what I get during installation:

...ipblocks is up to date.
...already have interwiki table
...indexes seem up to 20031107 standards
...have linkscc table.
...linkscc is up to date, or does not exist. Good.
...have hitcounter table.
Converting links table to ID-ID...
Sorry! The wiki is experiencing some technical difficulties, and cannot contact the database server. 

Any ideas?
Thanks
